Do I need to add Mycorrhizae?
In today’s man-made environments plants can be greatly stressed. Environments often suffer from man-made disturbances like asphalt, concrete, compaction, top soil loss, and the absence of quality organic matter. These conditions reduce the ability of the Mycorrhizal fungus to survive and thrive. The relationship between fungi and roots are important. Artificial landscapes impact the Mycorrhizae relationship. Many nursery and agricultural soils lack Mycorrhizae due to excessive and long-term uses of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Without the Mycorrhizal fungi, plants require more water and nutrients and are more susceptible to infestations of insects and diseases than they would in their natural environments.
